[Music] despite M's great love for the land of Israel for AR he was not allowed [Music] entry because you did not have faith in me to sanctify my name in the eyes of the people therefore Hashem swore would not lead them into the land of Israel what was the sin of mhu it's generally understood the sin was he hit the rock he was supposed to speak to the Rock however the rush comments that it was something specific about the M the way mhu referred to the rock that that was the sin ofu says to the people [Music] you think from this rock we will extract water says the rush was saying we will extract water me and God the two of us will do it together as if mhu was actually playing a part in extracting the water while in fact it was only Hashem andu was merely following directions so because M took some credit for the miraculous feat of of extracting water from The Rock he was punished that he was not allowed entry into the land of Israel my friend rabam Harris showed me that the rush refers to comments he makes elsewhere in on the The Rush here in this week's para is saying that because said from this rock we will extract water should have said he will extract water God M should have said with a y not no with a nun nun in front of a word means we will you in front of a word means he will therefore by the the word anov is spelled small indicating that mra's humility was not complete if he would have been perfectly humble he would have made sure not to take any credit for himself and say you see how difficult it is even for the humblest of men to attribute credit to others man has within themselves the desire to take credit and from here we learn how important it is is always to attribute credit to others and especially to says that the majority of saer was written by neya and yet we don't call it we call it Ezra and the reason is because was he took credit for himself he says God remember my good deeds one should never take credit for themselves one should never fall into the Trap and think it's one's own Good Deeds or or or merits that that's why they're being successful one should always attribute success to the Merit of one's forefathers one should always attribute success to the the more humble one is in the sense that one does not attribute any success that they have or any success that they demonstrate in any area of Life the more will continue to give that person the more we attribute our success toes the more our success will continue wishing everyone a wonderful week
